Chapter 328: Killable

Chapter 328: Killable

“Did he poison the sword?”

Dan Yun understood that Real Person Yuyao had misunderstood—she wasn’t suspecting the Supreme Primordial Heaven-Mending Pill, but rather suspected Zhang Mengchu himself.

But Dan Yun couldn’t be bothered to explain.

As a pill cultivator, she knew many methods of poisoning, but applying poison to a sword? That was a bit too ahead of its time.

Maybe she should jot this sinister little trick down in her notebook for future generations to study?

“Real Person, does this disciple’s old back still satisfy you?”

Zhang Mengchu leaned on his sword, a savage smile curling on his bloodstained lips as he trembled and slowly stood up from the ground.

He had succeeded.

At the very moment when Real Person Yuyao was at her most relaxed, he had suddenly lifted his suppression and struck her with everything he had.

Normally, such a strike wouldn’t have even scratched her. But when paired with the Supreme Primordial Heaven-Mending Pill, it became a death blow.

“This Venerable One will kill you!”

Real Person Yuyao could feel her cultivation draining rapidly, like water pouring out of a cracked jar. Fury surged in her chest, and she raised her palm to strike Zhang Mengchu.

The Holy Land of Jade Pool was part of her Small World.

This palm strike didn’t just come from her—it summoned the full force of her Small World. In the blink of an eye, the pressure surged like a tidal wave.

Before the palm even reached him, the force of the incoming strike had already made Zhang Mengchu bleed from his seven orifices. His bones creaked under the pressure.

“I can’t hold on… If that hit lands, I’m either dead or crippled!”

Zhang Mengchu could already see his end.

A starved camel was still bigger than a horse. He thought that by making Real Person Yuyao remove all her spiritual artifacts before their dual cultivation, he was guaranteed safety. Who would’ve thought—she didn’t even need any of that. A single palm from her could still end his life.

At that moment, Dan Yun’s cultivation was sealed. She could only stand aside and watch.

But this Alchemy Saint had no intention of running. Instead, she wore a carefree smile, as if her goal had already been achieved.

Real Person Yuyao had fallen below the Grand Ascension stage.

That meant she was no longer the untouchable Real Person.

She was now within reach—a Void Fusion cultivator.

Across the entire Cangyun Realm, Grand Ascension cultivators rarely died at the hands of others—most fell to heavenly tribulations. But Void Fusion cultivators killed by others? Countless.

There were plenty of people who wanted Yuyao dead.

The bald monk Reverend Karma next door would surely be one of them.

Now that Real Person Yuyao had fallen to the Void Fusion Realm—she was no different from a corpse.

In Dan Yun’s eyes, her revenge was complete.

But Zhang Mengchu didn’t see it that way. He wanted to live.

Just as that giant palm was about to land, he reached into his storage pouch with unprecedented speed and precision and pulled out a top-tier spiritual weapon that Chen Huaian had given him—the Piercing Cloud Arrow.

Then he rapidly chanted the incantation:

“One Piercing Cloud Arrow, ten thousand troops shall appear!”

“Sword Pavilion Ancestor, heed the urgent command!”

As the final words left his lips, a spatial rift tore open in front of him.

At the same time…

Chen Huaian, who had just finished cultivating and was about to enjoy a nice bath, suddenly saw a game prompt flash before his eyes:

[Alert! NPC Zhang Mengchu is using a special item to summon the player for descent!]

[Descent countdown: 3 seconds. Please prepare yourself!]

Chen Huaian blinked in confusion.

He wasn’t in the game—so how the h*ll was the game prompt bypassing his phone and popping up in real life?! Also, he was still in the bathtub!

No time to think.

Three seconds was just enough to throw on some clothes.

Chen Huaian leapt out of the tub like a fish and was about to get dressed—

[Three…]

BOOM—!

A spatial rift suddenly burst open in front of him.

In the blink of an eye, it sucked him in—bathtub, soul, and all.

“F**k! I’m not even wearing pants—!”

With that miserable howl…

Chen Huaian’s bare-naked body fell flat onto the cold tile floor.

…

Cangyun Realm – Holy Land of Jade Pool

The moment the spatial rift opened, a deafening thunderclap shook the earth.

Real Person Yuyao had been ready to crush Zhang Mengchu into dust with her next strike, but out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw something white flying in from the horizon.

Her expression changed instantly. She aborted her attack.

This was her Small World.

It operated on independent rules and could shift at her will. Here, she was invincible. No one could best her—even someone of equal cultivation would be suppressed by the world's rules.

Had she not fallen for Dan Yun and Zhang Mengchu’s trap—had she not let her guard down and been defiled—these two wouldn’t have stood a chance.

So now… who had the ability to tear open a rift in her Small World?!

Facing the incoming object, Real Person Yuyao flicked her hand.

A thick vine burst from thin air and transformed into a massive withered hand to intercept it.

BOOM—!

The explosion leveled the ground for hundreds of feet around.

Shards of porcelain flew everywhere.

Real Person Yuyao’s expression grew grave. She had never seen that white object before—not here, not anywhere in the Cangyun Realm.

As the debris was shredded by the violent wind and scattered into dust, a figure slowly emerged.

“That… was This Venerable One’s favorite bathtub.”

A voice rang out from within the smoke.

The figure became clearer.

He stood with hands clasped behind his back, facing away from everyone, silver hair cascading like a waterfall.

Even though he wore no clothes, he still exuded the majestic aura of a supreme master—an aura that demanded reverence.

“Why is This Venerable One’s descent as a projection… and yet there’s no clothing?!”

Chen Huaian gritted his teeth.

[The Digital Girlfriend Cultivation Game follows humanitarian principles and fully synchronizes with the player’s real-life state.]

[If the player is clothed in real life, they will appear clothed in Cangyun Realm—and vice versa.]

“Fine! Then next time This Venerable One descends to Li Qingran’s location, I’ll go in naked!”

[Your behavior violates the Game’s Code of Conduct. When descending before your Digital Girlfriend, the system will automatically equip you with proper attire.]

Chen Huaian: “…”

This game system really was a double standard.

Whatever.

He grabbed a random outfit from his player inventory. With a single thought, the clothes instantly conformed to his body like they were alive.

Just like that, the bare-butt Sword Sovereign once again became the dignified master in black robes and silver hair.

“Who are you?!”

Real Person Yuyao stared at the uninvited guest in her Small World, her expression darkening.

Not only had he ripped open space—but he had descended directly into her world?!

Even with her realm suppressed, this was impossible… unless…

Who the hell was this guy?!

Chen Huaian turned around, his right hand hovering over his sword hilt. Behind him, a hazy ink-wash world appeared in projection.

“Real Person Yuyao… you sure are forgetful.”

His sharp gaze locked onto her panicked eyes. He countered:

“Weren’t you the one who searched all over the Cangyun Realm for This Venerable One?

Now you’re asking who I am?”

Real Person Yuyao’s heart jolted. Her pupils shrank as she stammered:

“You… you’re the Sword Pavilion Ancestor?!”

Chen Huaian smiled silently.

Before today, Real Person Yuyao was in the Grand Ascension Stage, while he was just in the Eighth Stage of Void Fusion. Seeing her back then, all he could do was run.

But today… he was still Void Fusion Eight.

And she… was Void Fusion Nine.

He might not be absolutely certain…

But still—

Killable!
